Must stop now and do some work.  We went to the Farmer’s Market today and got some advice from two farmers about our tomatoes.  We got some sweet potatoes and two melons.  Then went to the Co-op and got some No Rot spray for the tomatoes to put calcium into the soil.  John says they will look better in 48 hours.  I hope he is right.  Then we went to Food Land and Walmarts and did our shopping for the week and for our company who will be here Monday.  Have a great day.
